I stopped methadone at the same time my mother started cancer treatments. I finished methadone 5 months ago and can't get a buzz going. I have 3 fentanyl patches on (total 150 mg.) Snorted 12 mgs of crushed long-acting dilaudid and swallowed 8 mgs short acting dilaudid 6 hours ago.
I've gone through a lot of opiates in 5 months and nothing works.
My tolerance is so high and I keep waiting for a breakthrough.
The doctors not trusting my mother with her drugs gave them to me to sort out - well she won't be having an overdose with me here.
Note: My mother has an arsenal of drugs. If I wasn't advocating for pain meds she would be on Tylenol 3s for cancer. I'm in a small town unable to get methadone. I've had to sacrifice regular appointments with my addiction doctor and psychiatrist to care take for my mom. She is difficult and it's a bit much to expect me to do everything for nothing and my limits are stretched. I'm an addict and to equate that with stealing the last pill from my dying mother's mouth while she lies in excruciating cancer pain is a bit Hollywood. Don't worry, this isn't moral evil.
